Lines, with members of the National Circus School of Canada


Performers pass on a tightrope through layers of public and private space in an on-going project presenting the permeability of borders. Iterations include a performer walking on a line through a house, and from a gallery into the stacks of the library next door. The walks are staged for an invited and chance audience.
